Students with Lake Travis ISD will be returning to class next Tuesday for the upcoming 2022/2023 school year. Here is some important information to keep in mind:
TRAFFIC SAFETY
Please be aware, traffic will likely increase in the morning and afternoon hours. It's also important to keep an extra eye out when driving near schools and being aware of school zones when they're active. Lakeway police will be stepping up enforcement near schools starting next week. Please keep within posted speed limits, and school zone speed limits when those zones are active. Also, keep an extra eye out for children who may quickly dart into traffic with little notice.
STAFFING & TRANSPORTATION

SCHOOL SAFETY & SECURITY
LTISD also sent a note out earlier this week to parents regarding safety and security. LTISD partners with local law enforcement agencies and first responders, including the Lakeway Police Department. A joint active shooter training exercise with Lakeway police, LTISD police, along with other agencies, took place a few weeks ago at Bee Cave Middle School in preparation for the upcoming school year.
